Have you been using stop(Throwable) or the no-arg stop() ?  The method 
that is removed is stop(Throwable). This method was re-specified to 
throw UnsupportedOperationException in Java SE 8 so it seems unlikely 
that there is code running on JDK 8 or newer that relies on this method.

I realize this isn't answering your question on how to deal with looping 
threads but I think it's important to understand that the removed method 
has been crippled for several releases and removing it in 11 should not 
be disruptive.
